Halcon Embedded Runs on the Beagle Board

The German company MVTec Software took initial performance measurements with the machine vision library Halcon 9.0 running on the Beagle Board using Ångström Linux as operating system.

For testing Halcon Embedded running on a Beagle Board, MVTec initially ported Halcon 9.0 and subsequently checked its ability to run with success. Thus, typical image processing algorithms with Halcon like filtering or blob analysis can be performed on the Beagle Board in some milliseconds. Even subpixel-precise measurements are possible in less than one millisecond.

These results show that applications based on Halcon can successfully be built on the Beagle Board platform. Customers are welcome to discuss their requirements with MVTec in order to customize Halcon Embedded accordingly.
